I hardly think I'm qualified
To come across all sanctified I just don't cut it with the cherubim
(Alastor, what are you talking about?)
There again they're on their knees
Being worshipped is a breeze Which rather suits us in the interim
(The interim, the interim, that's me and him
Oh my god!)

[Chorus]
It's tough to be a god
Tread where mortals have not trod
Be deified when really you're a sham
Be an object of devotion Be the subject of psalms
It's a rather touching notion
All those prayers and those salaams
And who am I to bridle if I'm forced to be an idol?
If they say that I'm a god that's what I am!

[Chorus] It's tough to be a god
But if you get the peoples' nod
Count your blessings
(Yeah!)
Keep 'em sweet That's our advice
(It's great advice!)
Be a symbol of perfection
Be a legend, be a cult
Take their praise, take the collection
As the multitudes exalt
Don a supernatural habit
We'd be crazy not to grab it! (You got it!)
So sign up two new gods for paradise
Paradise!
